What our alumni think

One bad day and one phone call really changed my life. I picked up the phone without expecting too much. I never expected Sara to be on the other end! From day one, she had a job opportunity for me and she was ready to help me get on track to start school. She gave me the keys and the extra push to change my life. She was serious and dedicated to helping me become the person I wanted to be and she wasn’t accepting anything less than my best because she chose to believe in me.

I’m proud to say I am now employed and ready to start school. Thanks to Sara and the Daymar staff, I’m confident in my future and my abilities as a mother, employee, and student. You never know who may be out there willing to guide you.

Thank you Sara and Daymar!

"Luckily I saw an ad for Daymar and requested information online. They called me right away, got me to come in, figured it all out and started school less than a week later. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I love it, it is so personable and friendly here. I just got my Associates of Science Degree. But I thought why stop there and now I am continuing on to get a Bachelor degree. I’m going into a field that is ever growing and always going to be around, I’ll never have to worry about my future."
